Coming to an end

 First I will write about yesterday, Tuesday, it was my baby's birthday, BABY, she was 54 years old.   Her birth day brings back a lot of memories, it was a difficult pregnancy, I was in hospital for the two months prior to her birth, and for three weeks after, all with two children at home.  If it wasn't for family pitching in to help I don't know what we would have done.   She unfortunately, was not able to have children, and I often wonder if the pregnancy issues could be a contributing factor.  Anyway,  she and SIL have two beautiful and smart daughters.  

Grocery day, and we got to the store earlier than last week, however, as Monday was Labour Day, some of the shelves had not been stocked as I am sure some of the suppliers were not working on the Monday.   We got what we needed and Mother Hubbard's cupboard is now full again.   In the afternoon, we took advantage of the beautiful sunny day and went for another drive to a port on the coast of Lake Erie.   The forecast was indicating  a severe  thunderstorm watch, so we kept our eyes on the skies.   Around 4:00 p.m. clouds started to build and we had an hour's ride ahead of us before we would get home, so we made our return trip home.   Nice day,   We did have rain, lightening and thunder during the evening, the rain gauge indicated that we had  more rain over night, as it showed 1 1/4 inches.   We needed it.

Today is nice and sunny with possible rain later this afternoon.  Back to my title, referring to our tomato plants, we have got off all that are edible, so this morning I cut down all of the plants.  We received some delicious meal from them this year.

When the back garden is in the shade this afternoon, I will do some weeding.  Hubby is cutting his daughter's grass at the moment.  He picked up some corn on the cob yesterday, so we had one each last night and there is one for our dinner tonight.

Dinner tonight?   Roast beef, cauliflower,  baked potato, gravy and corn on the cob.  Dessert not sure yet, as we have decided to make smaller portions of everything we eat.

UPDATE:

This post was started yesterday, but did not get sent.....Hubby asked if I wanted to go for another ride, destination his cousin.  Of course, I said yes.   

We had a great visit, which was only going to last a half an hour, but ended up being two hours.  We sat on their porch had coffee and cake.  So nice to do that, for sure.

So because of our impromptu trip, the weeding did not get done, and they are still there today, dinner was not  roast beef etc. as mentioned above.   We were not very hungry after our late afternoon snack, so had a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich around 8:30 p.m.    Tonight will be the roast beef dinner.

Today Thursday is cloudy with some sunny breaks, with the forecast for some rain.   It was a bit nippy when we got up, and is suppose to get even cooler tonight, so we will be switching the lever from cool A/C to heat furnace.  It is that time of the year.  

Bye for now.
